Undercover

People ask why? Why do you express?, Why do you wear your heart on your chest?, Why do you even bother to explain?, When people already know, don't you think it's a waste?, Yet, I have always believed, we must be reminded, We repeatedly re-member, in order to guide us, What some see as simple, or sounds stupid to say, Must be replanted in our hearts to remind us again, We are a habit forming people, we repeat all the time, That jolt brings us back, it reconstructs our mind, We look back at our choices, we look back on our mistakes, It monitors our growth, we check our hearts this way, I believe anything I share, I need to hear it too, I say it out of love for me and for you, Words that come from the soul matter in this life, Whether or not they sound wrong or right, It's the breath of freedom that uncovers the truth, A declaration of the heart concerning the next step we choose, So I'll take that constructive criticism, that perspective, that idea, It may not concern me at the moment, but it might next year,

I do pretty much all the time, :) but then you always get those ppl who try to make you second guess yourself, and then when they walk away n your by yourself you automatically disagree, and realize you did or said the right thing regardless of their opinion

It made me happy to read this life/ self affirming poem- and it has a good flow of thoughts, that I am completely in agreement with...no one should have to lock themselves away in silence- that inner need to let our little voices fly from caged hurt, is instinctively natural..."It's the breath of freedom that uncovers the truth." Thank you for a heartwarming poem of encouragement! : )xxx
